She just wanted help with her lessons.
You' re just wet. She's a real good looker.
Hi Alex, did you bring back my pictures?
Yes, but they were confiscated. -Who took them?
Leonid, the teacher took all the pictures.
l told you to be careful. They were the best ones l had.
l' m sorry, he took them off Fishenson.
lt's all because of that son-of-a-bitch.
l hope he didn't say who they belonged to.
lf my father hears about this he' ll beat me black and blue
with his belt. -Here's that idiot.
C' mon gang. Let's get him.
He's coming.

After. -No, not after. Your father' ll be here any minute
and the food is all ready. -What are we eating?
What you like. Take a clean towel and go shower.
Alexander, don't wipe your feet on that towel.
Take the blue towel for your feet.
l can't get washed, there's someone in there.
lt's no-one. lt must be Farouk.
Mr. Farouk?
Farouk, do you hear me?
l' m sorry but l've put on my hair treatment.
Your hair treatment doesn't interest me Mr. Farouk.
The child has to shower. -But Mrs. Koprovsky,
l only put on the tomato paste two minutes ago with the
frog powder. That only leaves the parsley and scorpion oil.
and l've finished. -Farouk, it's all rubbish.
You' ll grow hair on your head, the day l grow wings.
That's where you' re wrong, Mrs. Koprovsky.
Soon l' ll have a head of hair like James Dean.
l'm fed up with all your tenants.
Quiet, we have money problems. and we' re lucky he's here.
Farouk? Are you coming out?
What's up Mrs. Koprovsky? You inviting me to the opera?
We need a murderer like him at home? -Don't give him ideas.
You'll see. That Farouk will kill us all again.
Come my angel, l've got something for you.

Who said anything about chocolate.
From chocolate you get the belly ache.
Farouk, get out of there.
lf you upset me, l don't come out till New Year
Like l would give him chocolate!
Take it my angel. Take it and eat it quickly
before your mother goes crazy.
All this? -Why not? No one ever died of eating chocolate.

You' re not? Your nose is right in my letter.
That's just what you think. -Not just what l think.
Go on read it then. -Mom, that's enough.
Alexander, stand straight.
" Arise, awaken, the light cometh.
"The glory of the Lord shines upon you.
" For behold...for..."
lf that's the way you' re going to sing at your Bar Mitzva
all the guests will run out of the synagogue.
Listen carefully and follow me. You understand?
Good, begin.
" Arise, awaken, the light cometh,
The glory of the Lord shines upon you.
Your name should be blotted out, you terrorist.
Are you making fun of me?
You said to say what you say. -Only what you need to say.
But l didn't say to say what's not needed.
Carry on, non-believer.
Read the book.
" For darkness shall cover the land.
" And people lost in the mist
" And God will shine on you."
Rabbi, you have visitors.
The guests have come. -Peace be with you.
Oy vey!

Alexander, you eat it.
Why are you giving it to me? l hate chicken.
Alexander, behave yourself in front of guests.
Kova, l' m really embarrassed.

lt's really very good. -Stop nagging her.
Perhaps you' ll have some stuffing. -What? -Stuffing
Thank you, l' m full. -Mom, why don't you leave her alone.
How can l? She hasn't eaten a thing, Kova.

Miss Lola, l very, very happy to be meeting you.
Farouk, close the shutter, we' re at the table.
Farouk, eat with your mouth closed.
Miss Lola, you come special for Alex Bar Mitzva?
Or you hear l am a bachelor? -l came for private reasons.
l came to find my fiancee.
What? -To find my friend. -l see.
He's called Tadeck. -What? Tadeck Kamelly.
We were going to be married. That was before the war.
Then the Nazis took him, and since then l hear nothing.
They said he was dead. Then my girl friend's brother
said someone like him was seen here in lsrael.
Do you have his address?
You have to go to the Missing Persons Bureau.
What's that? -They look for lost relatives.
lt's worth a try, and really
Lola, l hope that you find him.
But if not, remember that l' m free.
That's good. Take a look at the murderer.
" And the glory of the Lord shall shine,"
Shine, yes. " For behold the darkness..."

Bluma! Arehla! Hallo. How come it's so late?
l was worried about you. -Arehla was hungry.
We had to stop and get some food.
All day Alex was saying: Where's Arehla, where is he?
Arehla!
The boy looks good. May he be protected.
l brought some things from the farm.
Bluma, you really shouldn't.
A thousand times l tell you, we don't need anything.
ls that all the eggs you brought? Never mind.
Alex, Arehla is here. Come in Arehla.
l don't understand. l' m waiting...
l was so worried, l didn't understand.
Open wide. -You've already given me Cod-liver oil
Only 2 more spoons. You must get stronger.
You can't lose weight before you' re sick.
One and...two.
How can you swallow that disgusting stuff?
Don't be so clever. lf you took Cod-liver oil
then you wouldn't have chicken pox. -Exactly.
So why give to me if you want me to get chicken pox.
Don't you mix in. Go to bed.
But why do we have to sleep in the same bed?
Alexander, are you starting again?
Doctor Fried said you have to sleep in the same bed.
At least 3 days. -4 days.
Heaven help us!
What happened?
Arehla, move over, you pushed me out of the bed.
Say, when do you eat breakfast? -ln the morning!
But l' m hungry now. -So go to the kitchen and eat.
Shall l make you a sandwich?
Just let me sleep in peace. -You sure. -Yes, go.
l see that you also cannot sleep.
Tell me, can you give me one sandwich.
Help yourself. -l like with tomato.
lt's tasty! -Say, what's that green stuff on your head?
lt's hair cream. lt's the best on the market today.
lt's made of Hammer fish and Sword fish.
You mix all up. You take the juice of wild beast
that cries at night of full moon,
the gall bladder juice.
Disgusting! -Why you say that? ln 2 days time
l have long hair like Samson and Delilah.
Hey, can l have another sandwich like that one.
Sure, but the spread is finished.
Really? -Look, the jar is empty.
God save us. ls that what you gave me in the sandwich?
Yes. -That's my hair cream.
My God. My stomach not feel good.
l've eaten a hammer and a sword. No good.
Now l' ll grow fins and scales.
l must drink much soap and wash all the cream out.
What will become of me? Who will help me?
l think l will have tail.
Hairs in my stomach and a tail
What shall l do Mrs Koprovsky?
Up, up parasites.
l' m all out of breath.
Come quickly, the teacher is going to kill us.
Wait for me! -Mimi wait a minute.

Dad said you hadn't heard anything from Tadeck.
No, they looked through all sorts of documents,
and they didn't find anything. -You mustn't give up.
Yesterday they put a noticei in the paper, that l' m here.
They also announced it on the radio. Maybe he' ll hear it.

Maybe he was killed in the war. -You mustn't think that.
You must find him. -Thank you.

Perhaps you can help me. l' m looking for a girl called Lola.
Lola? l don't know her. -Did you have a family visitor?
You' re mistaken. -Are you sure?
Maybe l' ll ask your parents. lt's not worth trying.
They've gone away, they' re on holiday.
Whatever the way, if you hear from a girl called Lola
would you give her this letter.
Yes, thank you.
Alexander, who were you talking to? -No one.
So go empty the pail and wash it out in the yard.
